Edgar Diabetes and Obesity Research (EDOR) members joined a range of contributors at the Golden Centre for World Diabetes Day on 14 November 2014, in Dunedin.
EDOR provided information about their research activities, and articles on hot topics such as hidden sugar, high fat diets and artificial sweeteners.
Disseminating knowledge is a key aim of our research centre, and EDOR members contribute to organisations in local, national, and international settings. EDOR has recently celebrated ten years at the forefront of diabetes and obesity research in New Zealand.
